Help needed with fridge water connection

SmartinMartin · 18-04-2018 12:25AM #1

Hey folks, looking for some help. The water connection to my fridge has come loose and flooded a corner of the kitchen. I've turned it off at the pipe so flooding solved, but now I'm puzzled as to how to reconnect. The first 2 photos are of the receiver for the connection, I've tried to unscrew the white part from the blue part with no luck. The third is the water pipe, I think it's 6mm. Any advice on how to connect them properly? Thanks for reading.

The white hose pushes into the white opening at the top of the device in the last photo posted

It's a simple push I fitting

If its a push fit connection, you might need to take a small bit off the pipe before reinserting, to give it a new grip surface.

Thanks folks, just discovered that a clean cut and more force worked!

That's an issue with a lot of push fits. Don't put up with repeats, on the same spot of pipe. Ok if there is spare pipe length, to nip off a piece.
Good that its sorted.
